BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- A Russian-built jetliner mysteriously disappeared only 12 minutes into a demonstration flight near Jakarta, Indonesia, according to the reports on Wednesday. The Sukhoi Superjet-100, which was carrying 44 passengers, abruptly vanished from air controllers' radar screens at about 6,000 feet, leading some Indonesian authorities to speculate that it may have been hijacked. The plane was part of a Sukhoi demonstration tour, and had been successfully flown at stops in Myanmar, Pakistan and Kazakhstan.
